Energy used for heating buildings, by source::
| Percentage of total energy used to heat buildings (0-100) | |
| Biomass | --- |
| Coal | --- |
| Electricity | --- |
| Fuel oil | --- |
| Geothermal | 0.20 |
| Natural gas | 99.80 |
| Other (please specify and explain below) | --- |
A brief description of other sources of building heating not specified above:
A geothermal well system is used for heating and cooling 3 "green" buildings currently, 2 of which are LEED certified. A geothermal heat pump is a central heating and cooling system that uses the earth as a heat source. This design takes advantage of the moderate temperatures in the ground to boost efficiency and reduce the operational costs of heating and cooling systems.
